Evaluation:

Another excellent set in terms of moulding and sculpture. This is together with the German Tank crew and setting Panzer Grenadiers one of the most useful, as the combinations could be endless, with some though. The multipose approach is in this set taken almost to the limit, at least in this scale, so some care must be taken, so that any gaps should be carefully filled with putty.

I my opinion, some of the heads are a little small for the rest of the body, but this is my opinion.

Just imagining any group of soldiers or crew leaving their vehicle for the assault or in a hurry, to have a diorama.

Overall a ranking of 9 out of 10.
